What's the difference between electric bathroom radiators and central heating radiators?
A dual-fuel radiator is a type of radiator that can be connected to either a central heating system or an electric power supply, offering flexibility in how it is operated and allowing for heating options beyond traditional water-based systems. Here's how it works:
Central Heating System: Like a standard radiator, a dual-fuel radiator can be connected to a central heating system. In this configuration, hot water from the central heating boiler flows through the radiator, heating it and warming the room.
Electric Heating: Dual fuel radiators also can be independently powered by electricity. They are equipped with an electric heating element, which can be connected to the mains electricity supply. When using electricity, the radiator functions similarly to an electric heater, generating heat directly through the electric element.
The ability to switch between central heating and electric heating offers several advantages:
Flexibility: Dual fuel radiators provide flexibility in heating options. They can be used as part of the central heating system during colder months when the boiler is running and switched to electric mode during warmer periods when the central heating may not be needed.
Zoned Heating: They allow for zoned heating control, as they can be operated independently of the central heating system. This means you can heat specific rooms or areas of the house as needed, without having to turn on the entire central heating system.
Seasonal Use: Dual fuel radiators are particularly useful in seasonal transitions when central heating may not yet be required but some heating is still desired. For example, they can provide supplementary heat in bathrooms or utility rooms without needing to activate the central heating system.
Energy Efficiency: Using electricity to heat the radiator can be more energy-efficient in certain situations, especially if the rest of the house doesn't need heating. It allows for targeted heating where and when it's needed, potentially saving energy compared to heating the entire house with the central heating system.
Overall, dual-fuel radiators offer versatility and control over heating options, making them a popular choice for modern heating systems, particularly in homes where flexibility and energy efficiency are priorities.
A bathroom radiator is a specialised, dual-function heating unit that serves as a towel warmer and room heater.
A bathroom radiator essentially uses convection to heat your bathroom. The primary convection principle is it drives cool air from the bottom of the bathroom, and as the air passes over the flutes, it gets heated and rises up.
The best type of bathroom radiator will depend on your space, style preference, and heating needs. You can choose from the following 7 options:
In the UK, a radiator is needed in the bathroom to check dampness and mould growth, especially during the winter months.
A radiator can heat the bathroom and help reduce dampness and mould. This design element can also keep your towels warm.
Measure the dimensions of your bathroom and consider the following three heat loss factors: wall type, floor level, and window size.
Next, use a British Thermal Unit (BTU) calculator to determine the heat output you’ll require based on your bathroom’s external walls, insulation, and ceiling height.
Look to oversize your radiator, not undersize it.
